only members of that community.
Local is ment to discover communities and subscribed is ment for content that you like, see and want to follow. If you don't like something, just don't interact with it, simply as that, if see you something that does not fit the community or breaks the rules, go ahead downvote + report it.
big edit: When I first register here, I don't like yiff, and thats me thats that, but I didn't start downvoting every post I saw, I dud start blocking them, and that was on local. Today I browser and no yify content has shown up.
Nah that's how you use the platform..
I came to this instance to browse local and block the communities I don't like. I'm not going to manage 100 subscriptions and limit myself to it. To me this instance solved all of my problems.
Fine, as long as you dont downvote every post you see!
I don't do that, but I also don't want to have to subscribe to n number of communities just to have the ability to downvote because a few people got upset fake internet points weren't in their favor
Then you give up the option to downvote. Make use of the block feature to limit what you see. I see restricting downvotes to members as the best option. As it limits molding of the community's content to those that are invested in it without people who don't want that content ruining it for those that do.
If you browse local, you get to see all there is but you'll need to block communities or users to get rid of content you don't want to see.
If there is content you like to see, then join the community and help improve what content gets posted by investing in the community.
The members of communities can use the vote system to mold the content to fit their community best without losing the option to view content they are interested in. Content creators or posters get to learn what the community likes to see without a flood of downvotes just because a bunch of dudes don't like dicks in their porn or some other dumb reason to downvote from local.
I like to browse local too but my subscribed is where I should only see content I know I'll like. If I don't want my mood ruined by a bunch of dicks in my face then I keep to subscribed and if I just want to explore or find new content or maybe feel better about my own dick, then I go to local and see whats new.
